I'll have to check my pond out very good with my shrimp net. It's possible that both these species are already in there. I just don't know. I catch these same scuds in the freshwater creeks here, when I'm trapping minnows. But I have never got any clams in my traps.
These stormwater easement type ponds are all over the place around here. They are mostly very small like 1/4 acre and very shallow, around 1-2 ft. Most of them have no fish in them because they were never stocked. But they are full of forage like frogs, tadpoles, snails, small minnows and now I found clams. I am very tempted to use these ponds for forage for my pond. But I know there is always a risk.
